Managed Databases

Provision and manage Postgres, Redis, ClickHouse, and Qdrant clusters from the Customer Portal.

Databases provisions managed data stores in your workspace — Postgres, Valkey-compatible Redis, ClickHouse, and Qdrant — without leaving the portal. Credentials are stored in Secrets; the API never returns raw passwords.

Who can access

ActionTypical permission
List / view connection inforead
Create / scale / backup / restorewrite

Prerequisites

  • Workspace selected in the top navigation picker
  • Workspace within its managed-database quota (Quotas)

Create a database

Open Databases

In the sidebar under Data, click Databases.

Click Create

Choose an engine (Postgres, Redis, ClickHouse, or Qdrant), a name, and a tier (small or medium).

Wait for provisioning

Creation is asynchronous. The list and detail pages show status until the cluster is ready.

Connection info

Open a database from the list to see host and port. Username, password, and API keys are revealed from workspace Secrets (audited), not returned inline by the Control Plane.

Scale and backups

CapabilityNotes
ScaleChange tier on the detail page when the cluster is ready
On-demand backupSupported for Postgres, Redis, and ClickHouse
Backup scheduleConfigure retention on engines that support backups
RestoreRestores create a new cluster from a backup
PITRPostgres point-in-time recovery depends on infra enablement

Qdrant backup/restore is not available yet.

Delete a database

From the detail page, delete and confirm. Deletion is irreversible; recreate from a backup if you need the data.
